I am personally ready to pay a couple dollars more a month for my energy in order to protect our future generations.

"The bill would speed up air pollution permits for Shell Oil and other companies seeking to drill in Arctic waters off Alaska’s coast."
"Another provision targeting EPA would prevent the agency from regulating a coal combustion byproduct called coal ash as a hazardous waste ..."
"... preventing federal regulators from moving forward with regulations intended to protect streams from mountaintop-removal coal mining ..."
"The House GOP proposal includes fresh cuts to wastewater and drinking-water infrastructure funding, grants for state environmental programs and cleanup programs for the Great Lakes and Chesapeake Bay."
Which would arguably have the double effect of killing jobs and poisoning citizens.
